It would be great if we had a ritual of dating at the bar. Well, for example, a woman could come up with a bowl of mayonnaise, sit down and pretend that she can’t open it, and a man could come up and offer her help, and soon they would be absorbed by a charming conversation.
Do you like mayonnaise? Hm! I love it too!")
And so far we are not far from the old way, when one of the parties is forced to boldly approach the other and without any apparent reason to try to start a conversation.
And before, when this duty was entirely on men, and now, in the age of the emancipation of women, the initiative still belongs entirely and entirely to men.
